The Incredible Story of DSHEA Supplement Report – Structure/Function Claims, ODS, GMPs & more

The passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) in 1994 legally defined the term "dietary supplement" for the first time ever and laid the foundation for the way that supplements would be regulated. Without DSHEA there would be no structure/function claims, no Office of Dietary Supplements at NIH, no GMPs specific to supplements, no process to follow when introducing New Dietary Ingredients, no use of scientific literature in conjunction with products, and many of the products we take for granted today would not be available at all. This exclusive report brings together insights from some of the people who were, and still are, a part of the important story of DSHEA.
